Flurbiprofen: Synthesis and Application

Mar 16，2024

Synthesis of Flurbiprofen

Ethyl 2-fluoro-4-biphenylacetate, prepared from 4-acetyl-2-fluorobiphenyl via the Willgerodt reaction and subsequent esterification, is treated first with diethyl carbonate and sodium ethoxide, then with dimethyl sulfate to give diethyl 2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)-2-methyl malonate. Saponification followed by acidification affords the malonic acid, which is decarboxylated at 180 – 200 ◦C to yield flurbiprofen.
